Transformers: Encore 20 Devastar / Devastator Revisited

Glad I ordered this. I never had the original as a kid, and I really want the 3rd party one...just can't justify paying that much for it. I bought my son the all green movie verse one and have been wanting my own ever since.

I find it hard to believe that Mixmaster's barrel will be grey, which completely doesn't match with anything else on the figure. Same goes for the missile launchers.

But stranger things have been known to happen.

This was the only Gestalt I managed to complete as a kid and somewhere along the line I lost Long Haul; so I'm looking forward to this reissue. I hope the color changes stand; they look sharp and I don't mind a little variation on a reissue. Bought!

I can't buy this, but if I could, I would. My only minor draw back is that it doesn't have visor eyes.

Cool, thanks for the heads up!

I dont see whats the big deal about the G1 re-release of Devastator. He has been re-issued and KO'd so many times in the last 25 years that its hard to imagine any G1 figure collector not owning him already in some form.

What's wrong with the updated color choice? Maybe to differentiate him from the HiQ K.Os that are circulating and avoid the previous brouhaha that was Metroplex Encore.

And, the "visor" optic comment on Dev, well the TV series really couldn't get that right. For me, I wish they could give him the "red optics" he had in the show.

Maybe because not everyone, like me, was able to get a AUTHENTIC G1 original or reissue, and maybe because the K.O's were really poorly done. I had a K.O. that just fell a[art when touched..........

My childhood vintage Devastator falls apart when you touch him. Especially the Bonecrusher arm. Im going with the TFC Devastator for my classics collection. Now what I really wanna see is the clear green plastic and light blue Devastator KO's that are supposed to be coming out later this year. Those things are going to be bad ass !!!
